Gluten Free Sorghum Cookies

My friend Becca, from Frugal Wannabe,  is awesome. She’s a homeschooling mom of 4 kids and she just makes me laugh all the time. 🙂 I just love having encouraging folks in my life!  Becca was recently diagnosed with a gluten allergy, so I asked her if she would share a gluten-free recipe today…y’all ask me for those so I have to get help. Thanks Becca!

Gluten-free Sorghum Cookies

I was recently diagnosed with a ridiculous amount of allergies, the main ones being dairy, wheat, and eggs. Oh and chocolate. Isn’t that pitiful? What kind of person can I be without chocolate? For the most part, the whole family has gone gluten free at home. I have to say it’s not easy, because these items are in almost everything. What I’ve done quite often is tweak a recipe that calls for one or more of these ingredients, and substitute what I am able to use, at least until I can experiment more. That’s what I’ve done with this recipe. 

Sorghum Cookies

Smashing stuff is fun! This took up 2 ungreased cookie sheets. When cookies are done, cool on a wire rack if you’re strong enough to resist. I’m not. I ate one warm. It was awesomesauce.

Gluten-Free Sorghum Cookies

  • 3/4 cup butter, melted (I used Earth Balance)
  • 1 cup sucanat
  • 1 egg (I used 1 tbs ground flax mixed with 3 tbs hot water)
  • 1/4 cup sorghum or molasses
  • 2 cups GF all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup sucanat
  1. Melt your butter, then in the same pot, whisk in the 1 cup of sucanat and egg until smooth, then whisk in the sorghum.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the dry ingredients in, except for the ½ cup of sucanat.
  3. Make a well in the center, and add the wet ingredients.
  4. Chill the dough in your fridge for 1 hour.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375, or 350 if you use a convection oven.
  6. Take out your dough, and shape it into walnut-sized balls, and roll in the remaining sucanat.
  7. Place on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart, and flatten with the bottom of a glass. This took up 2 ungreased cookie sheets.
  8. Place them in the oven for 5 minutes, then rotate and bake for another 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack .

Becca has been married to her insanely handsome husband Jeremy for 14 years, and they have 4 children ages 10, 9, 7, and 3.  She is a stay-at-home Mama and homeschools her kiddos.  She enjoys cooking, knitting, and raising chickens. She does not, however, enjoy washing dishes or cleaning anything.  You can find her at  Frugal Wannabe She doesn’t post every day, so don’t mind that.

    Hi Becca, I hope you are adjusting to your diet, that’s a lot of allergies to start avoiding at once! When I saw ‘sorghum cookies,’ I assumed it was sorghum flour. I admit I had never even heard of sorghum sweetener, but now I’ve read this NYT article and am up to speed: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/28/dining/sorghum-a-southern-sweetener-to-remember.html?_r=0. Are you in the South? I’m in the Seattle area. There are lots of alternative sweeteners at my food co-op but I’m pretty sure sorghum isn’t one of them. The idea of a less-harsh molasses taste is intriguing, though, I’ll have to keep my eye out for it.

        I’ll have to try to sample some and maybe pick up a bottle next time I get to the South!

    Becca, THANK YOU for this recipe! I am like you…I just experiment here and there, but being GF is HARD! Actually, I am JUST now–like TODAY–going GF because of some issues with my newborn I am nursing. My 4 year old has been GF for just over a year, and my 2 year old is GF as of this week. Guess my hubby will go GF as well unless he’s out! 😉 Pinning this recipe for sure!

    Gotta try this recipe… Sounds yummy! My daughter was diagnosed almost two years ago with gluten intolerance and lots of food allergies. Finding a GF All purpose flour was near impossible. However, we ran across Bob’ Red Mill gluten free all purpose baking flour. The ingredients are: garbanzo bean flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, white sorghum flour and fave bean flour. My daughter really missed chicken tenders, and this flour lets her have those as well as steak fingers! I hope that helps someone, thanks for the recipe.

    My husband has allergies to everything too, so this is awesome 🙂 He went GF 3 months ago and I’ve found a few great recipes, I’d love to get connected with Becca if she wants some tried and true ones 🙂

    What type of GF all purpose flour was used? There is such a variety of blends- some with rice flours, some with bean flours, etc etc. We have an GF all purpose that I made up with various rice flours- it subs great into some recipes, but horribly into others- Unfortunately, I tried some molasses cookies just a couple of weeks ago with that flour and they..”fell flat” if you get my drift! Knowing what kind of GF flour was used could help give me an idea if this one will work with mine!

    Sorry to inform you, but the Cookie recipe you entered on September 24 is NOT Gluten free. GV Flour is made from Wheat and Wheat is the first grain a Gluten free person would eliminate.

      Hi Brenda, I think maybe you read the post wrong. Becca states to use GF Flour in the recipe…which is “gluten-free” flour. 🙂 I’m not sure what GV flour is, but I can’t find it in the post….

If you hate it, just scroll on by. 🤍 But it was helpful to us. 🥰⠀
⠀
Often, I have a hard time getting my kids to remember things I’ve taught them, like how to properly clean a toilet or clean mirrors. “I forgot.”⠀
⠀
You know what they don’t forget? Stuff they watch on You Tube. 🤪🤪⠀
⠀
So I went to You Tube and sourced kid videos about cleaning the bathroom. The kids all watched them. ⠀
⠀
Now they’re all cleaning their own bathrooms. Boom. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Worked for us. ⠀
⠀
** Just search on YT for “kid cleaning videos” and see what you find. Different parents have different parameters for what they allow. Barry and I screened videos first but each person can find their own. ❤️🤍

Hard times can make us or break us.

Our family experienced some big changes and shocks and pruning (removing) in 2021. Some days I didn’t want to get out of my house or my bed.⠀
⠀
But already we are coming out of darkness into His wonderful light and I can see - I can see the benefits of hard times. ⠀
⠀
New beautiful growth and hope. ❤️⠀

What is one benefit YOU have experienced from hard times?
This culture has nothing to offer our family.⠀

I lived for too long believing that hustle was to the benefit of this family. ⠀
⠀
God’s call upon our life isn’t to hustle and grind our days away while we prove our worth and see our success. ⠀
⠀
No, friends. It’s God’s desire that when people look at you and me, they don’t see US or what WE accomplished but instead say:⠀
⠀
Wow, only God did that. ⠀
